Very good information
Excellent information, thank you so much. I have to renew in March and this was extremely helpful!
Love your videos.🙏🏻💜🇲🇽
Thank You
I have come back because this is our time!
This is the best
🙏 Michael
That was a lot of information but, it was presented well. Easily understood and very informative. Thank you 🙏🏻 for putting it together. I’m sure it was time consuming but very much appreciated. 😍
Thank you very much for saying that; it means a lot to me. 🙏♥️
Thank you for this very detailed video about this process. As a side note for your viewers, you were quite lucky to be able to do your change of address so easily because normally, the Cambio de domicilio is another process altogether that will require spending a few hours at the INM. Forms, photocopies, and a new appointment via the website are required. Make sure you remember your old address exactly the way you had written it down in your original application otherwise the agent will ask you to re-write the cover letter until you get it right. It is a little frustrating especially if you lived in a village like I did where there was no actual street name and the building did not have any address or unit number...the landlord had made up an address and it took me 3 trials to finally get the address right! I am looking forward to your next video :)
You are absolutely right Philippe....they can send you back home and make you come back. That does sound like a frustrating experience (we experienced something similar).
They can even issue a fine for not informing them within 90 days
Excellent information, Lisa Marie! I am surprised about the income requirement for renewal. That must be part of the ongoing immigration changes that have been occurring over the last 7 or 8 months.
Thanks Gina. 🙏
It's just a single instance, probably incompetent agent. Any immigration consulate will tell you that it's not required
Always good info from you guys. Thanks so much. 🙂
Thanks for your appreciation Charlie. 🙏
Very very helpful video. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your appreciation. 🙏
Okayyy I am happy for y'all it looks like y'all are enjoying and loving it in mexico...
😊
Well I’m Puerto Rican and I want to live in Mexico but I want to live in Mazatlan Mexico by the beach but I want to live or in Puerto Vallarta because I like to be able to sit in in the condo or something and look down and see all the people walking around and then if you grow older you wanna be able to feel safe what do you think since you’re already there I’m from Pennsauken New Jersey my mom lived on third Street in Camden And my father lived on six in Burley he owned a grocery store Perez groceries in North Camden around the corner from Piney point Park
I subscribed and saved this to watch later (:
We are thinking about applying (: thanks

Thanks Harolyn. 😊
I don’t know how to do all that I got to go to immigration how many help I want to move can I get my SSI check over there did they give you food stamps and Medicaid I heard they do you have to like I don’t know if it’s in New Mexico or is all I don’t understand you got to read all that up in online
Great video very informative. Correct me if I misunderstood and I know it was a lot of information you provided and you may have forgotten, but did you say you were going to say why you couldn’t renew for 3 yrs? I was wondering if they are only allowing a year at a time for renewing? TIA!! 😊
Hi Marilyn, Hope all is well. You are right, the video ran a bit long so just wanted to get the meat and potatoes for you all. We were just told we couldn't do the 3 years with the "economic solvency" by the upstairs/front desk agent (person who does a "pre-check" of the documents beforehand). That is when I explained I had already paid for 3 years at the bank since I heard otherwise, and when asked what I needed to do, was informed I would just need to return to the bank and have them reverse/ reprocess for the 1 year payment instead. This is the "short version" but you imagine the back & forth since additionally, I also had to update the cover letter to state 1 year. Still heard contradictory info after the fact which is why in the video, I mentioned that I'm still not sure if that is indeed the case. Will see when we renew again at the end if the year.
Seems like the agent was incompetent, many people renew for 3 years without any issues, also no need to fill that form of matrimonio or show any bank account. Actually your spouse might not even reside in Mexico and don't even have bank statements in English, but e.g. Arabic or Russian. I think in such cases it's better to come later and find another agent. Or even apply in another office (but then will have to refund the fees, which will be a headache)
Oh my God. Paperwork is my cryptonyt. Paperwork in Spanish is another level. I qualify for dual citizenship being a child of two Mexican parents, but I would have to go through an agency that can take care of that. I can't move to Mexico yet, but one day. Haha. I'm sure this video will be very helpful for others though. :)
Completely understand. 😉
Haha...paperwork...in Spanish...and worse of all " online "....a nightmare 😆
Wonderful video! Always so thorough. Did you renew in Querétaro or another city?
Hi Anatema, Thanks for your comment. You may have missed it when I mentioned it in the video but we renewed in Queretaro.
Do we have to wait until we get to Mexico to get an appointment with the INM? Is there any way we can book the appointment ahead of time?
Hello! My husband and I have our temporary resident visas from our Mexican Consulate. We are looking for some help to get the exchange process completed in or near Ensenada. Do you know anyone or have any advice? Thank you!
Is it better to get a lawyer, to handle all of this? If the forms are all in Spanish. I don't read or speak Spanish. But I'm going down this summer. To obtain my residency. Are these forms for first time applying for residency?
Yes absolutely. There are plenty of lawyers who specialize in helping with the process to make it quick & easy.
You can choose to do whatever is easier for you Esther. As I stated in the video, for those who need additional assistance, there are people who work in this area - "tramite offices" (not lawyers). A lawyer is absolutely not necessary for this process in my opinion, but for those who prefer to use one, I don't doubt there are plenty willing to take on this task for a fee. I also stated in the video that this is the renewal process but that I added links to my part video on the step-by-step process on how to obtain your residency (and yes, petty much same forms but there are more steps given it is the first time= initial application). I have added the links below for you as well to those videos (both videos must be watched in order to understand the full two-step mandatory process).

Where do you find a tramite office. Is this the Mexican term?
Thanks
They are pretty much everywhere; they specialize in assisting with the immigration paperwork. For example, there are several tramite businesses in the area where the INM (immigration office) is located. They pretty much fill out/ prepare the application, documents I showed you how to complete in my video for a fee.

Hey guys what's a good way to make money in Mexico please let me know
Did you get your renewal card in the mail? Did you pick it up. I was able to get my temp same day. Can I get the renewal same day?
We received it on the same day. Every office goes about things their own way so we recommend you check with your local INM.
thorough is your middle name?
it is legit step by step and someone will still not understand. rofl
this is my first stop if/when I start the process. thx guys.
Thanks Eric. 🙏 And you can say that again amigo. 😉
Hey guys, I'm throwing around the idea of fully immersing myself in Spanish by taking a couple college level classes in a latin American country. I think Panama do not tax foreign income if I'm not mistaken. How is the tax situation if I was to spend more than 6 months in Mexico?
Mexico does tax residents on worldwide income (such as the U.S.). There is a lot if information online because there isn't a simple answer; we recommend you speak to a tax professional about your personal situation. Here is a general article (one of many) that provides some info but always do your own research as we always tell you all. 😉 www.escapeartist.com/blog/taxation-of-expats-living-in-mexico/
@@WhyNotNow Thank you
Hello awesome video! Thank you so much for all the information. I heard that you can only renew your temporary visa 30 days prior to the expiry date and in Mexico, do you know if this is the case? Or can you renew it after it actually expires or earlier than the 30 day window prior to expiry?
Thanks for sharing your appreciation of our creative work.They want you to start the renewal process within 30 days of your expiration date (listed on the residency residency card).
You should be in Mexico and need to aplly not earlier than 30 days
Very informative video. You mentioned that you were going to go for a three year renewal, but something happened. We are planning to renew for three years this May. Is there something I need to anticipate? Thanks!
Hi Michell, I am sure your situation is different but I responded to this question below in the comments (look for Marilyn Rios commenter).
This is very, very helpful. Thank you! Are you losing weight? You look great!
Thanks for the love Sandra. 🙏 I'm pretty much the same 😉 but thank you for the sweet compliment. 🌹
Thank you so much for this informative video. On the tramite form I clicked on ''condicion de residente temporal a permanente'' because I am residente temporal 1 year and meet the criterias for the permanency. However, I don,t know how to make an appointment to INM since I am in Nuevo Vallarta right now and want it done before my departure in Canada in May. Help please ?
Hi Diane, When we went through the process, we just waited for them to tell us when to come in (via email) after we had registered online (via the INM website as discussed in Part 2 of this video). There have been a number of changes to the process (and other policies) since then. They have a newly updated website and it seems that is where you would go to make your appointment. Go to the INM (immigration Mexico) website where you should be able to locate the address, and phone number of the INM office in the city you plan on going to (there are multiple listed on the site and you will have to see where there is availability). This is also a good starting point as you can contact the INM office in the city you plan to go to - each may do things differently. Here is the link to the INM website in Mexico; you will have to navigate to find what you are looking for (tramites/ identidad passaporte y migracion is the starting point) www.gob.mx/.
@@WhyNotNow thank you very much for your reply !
You never fully stated why you went for 1 year versus 3 years renewal.
You are right, the video ran a bit long so just wanted to get the meat and potatoes for you all. We were just told we couldn't do the 3 years with the "economic solvency" by the upstairs/front desk agent (person who does a "pre-check" of the documents beforehand).
